Hey guys. Got 2 R31's this is my track car build. Long story short

Built a R31 with a 25DET in it, people said i was nuts to trash it on the track cos its neat, so i got it engineered instead also has JIC coilovers all round

So then i wanted something different instead of a 25 or 26 so went LS1. Nothing to hard, got the car in October finished it in december lol. Did the engine mounts n gearbox xmember myself fitted all the gear to basically get it there, suspension n brakes. Wanted to get it done for a jaustech private day on december 23rd. unfortunately it didnt make it due to a faulkty relay but we didnt pick it up. Anthony from jaustech had it wired n running in a day lol. So yeh, this is my 2 month build

Sorry for the belated reply....Actually forgot i had this thread!! It was a little expensive, but the main cost was the motor and box....hard to find a manual!

Well here are a couple of vids from my first drift practice and drift school

f**k- another liner with Ls1. Good shit dudes, as far as i know the Ls1 is quite a light engine too, so it prob doesnt add too much weight. I would kill to drive a skyline with the grunt of a chev! Plus modifying those engines is quite cheap, so im sure its only a matter of time before we see some crazy ass 450rwkw chev powered skyline!

Cheers guys. HAHA 31 pimp, classic!! Yeh it is slightly lighter all up. But suprisingly its awesome to drive, very throttle controlable which i love, not a shitload of steering coz so far i have done alot with the right foot lol....just love the torque of it :devil:

The torque of a good v8 is unbeatable imo. Dont get me wrong, i love my rb's but i know that personally i can drive a v8 a bit more to its potential. I just find it easier to manage with the big fat even power curve!

Having said that, i cant drive for shit in comparison to some of the drifters/racers i have seen on vid in this forum.

Haha, yeh thats it. The 25 n ls1 are nearly the same power, but yeh, the V8 has my vote for good fun, just needs to rev harder. Makes power to 5700rpm, but revs to 6400 lol. You can hear the leveling of the power when im going around turn 1. No biggie though, ile learn how to drive first, that was my first practice ever......8 laps lol and drift school, about 3 hrs in the car all up. I just cant wait for the next day......:rofl2: 10th of June Ad's, tailem bend.

That looks like fun! Ive always been a import man but owned a few holdens vl bt1, supercharged stato ( that was fun ). But the other night i went in my mates vp ss which has been built with 350 hp and i can say its a different sort of power was a lil scary ( more scared of my mates driving ) he started doing a burnout 1st, 2nd & by the time we hit 3rd fryed a set of tyres lol.

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
